This paper discusses the importance of teaching spoken Tamil through Tamil Learning and Teaching in classrooms and how to motivate students to communicate and interact in Tamil. This essay also presents the audio and video recordings and observations conducted in the selected primary and secondary school classrooms. It can be inferred that a bilingual education system and Tamil language education helps students to understand their own culture, identify and use Tamil language as a lifelong language (Saravanan, V., Lakshmi, S. & Caleon, I. (2007 & 2009). In the bilingual environment where English is dominant, it is a challenge to improve students’ competency in the written form of Tamil language. This paper elaborates on suitable classroom activities and tasks that encourage the use of Tamil and pedagogical training. This paper also presents research conducted on the usage and sustenance of Tamil language (Sobrielo, A., 1985; Schiffman, H. F and others). The paper also details educational policies and their implementations in Singapore and the contributions made by Singapore policy makers at the international level.
